2026 Wisconsin Manufacturing Summit
Friday, September 18th, 2026 | Time: 7:00 am - 9:00 am
Location: The Wisconsin Club, 900 W. Wisconsin Ave. Milwaukee


Wisconsin's manufacturing economy is in growth mode, largely driven by innovation and new technology. The IBAW Manufacturing Summit puts you in the room with two of the people at the center of it:
John Miller, Secretary and CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, will open the program with a look at where the state's manufacturing economy stands today and what's coming next.
Then Miller sits down for a moderated conversation with Serafino Fabiano of Eli Lilly, the executive leading Lilly's $4 billion manufacturing expansion in Kenosha County. Lilly's project in Wisconsin is the largest investment in the company's history outside its home state of Indiana and is expected to bring hundreds of advanced manufacturing, engineering, and science jobs to southeastern Wisconsin along with more than 2,000 construction jobs. The Lilly project has made Southeast Wisconsin a serious player in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and this is a rare chance to hear directly from the leaders shaping that growth. Don't miss it.
